Any chance the fellow organizers have kids that could help?

Rave: For some reason, I am always wonderfully surprised to find out where true friends lie in times of emotional upset. Which ones are quick to lend an ear and a hand, and which ones are quick to judge. I feel so much better~

*glee~*

We're moving. Out of state. Not sure when, but it's happening. The hard part was making the decision to go. At least I hope that was the hard part sweatdrop

Good luck!! Moving can be rough. I hope this is a step in the right direction.

Thanks. I really hope that it is. It's not anything that's happening soon though. It will be at least 6 months, maybe as long as a year. And it will only happen if certian other things go according to plan.

Well now, seems I'm not the only one moving. Although, my family and I are more like... being evicted. Our fault for some of it, but still. Anyway, I was told power would be turned off today, so we've got to start packing soon, throwing out what is un-needed. I'm actually looking forward to that, this family carries trash with us, and I'm sure it's got some negative connotations with it. For example, taking up extra space.

Some friends of ours promised to take us in for a short while, so at least we have somewhere to stay.

Anyway, expect this to be my last post for a while, take care everyone!

It is propable that it is too late to start making them, just for the purpose of "lending you a helping hand". xd

Take care Noble Nogistune. I hope you find a new home soon.

I just wanted to say that you guys have totally spoiled me. I forgot what it's like dealing with less stable and fluffier pagans, at least in person.

On a related note, though, I do have two adorable pieces of rose quartz now.

I have had a supermassive ginormous ******** revelation.

I am no longer angry or hurt. I feel so secure...so natural. Holy awesome. I take back anything I said about him that was overly bad. Yeah, there were mistakes, but overall I had NO idea where he was coming from.

Now I do.

Wow...wow.

Now I wonder...why do we shove each other into pigeon holes when it comes to defining our relationships? Now I have such a fluid approach, and I can be satisfied with minimal hurt and maximum happiness.

Papers are driving me up the wall. Sovereignty is awesome. Writing about it when yarn and M&Ms look so much more appealing is less so.

The weather is so awesome! Everything looks so much livelier already and it's only March! I got invited to go sunbathing already. xD

And a new H&M and American Apparel have also opened nearby. ninja

The new season of Law and Order Criminal Intent looks like it will have an episode that features paganism.

I think I've found an even more appropriate song for the Supernatural Forum: R.E.M.'s "Supernatural Superserious".

Some habits are hard to break. I came into a good amount of money (will be deposited into my back account next week, but I got the confirmation of it today) and my first thought wasn't of Hermes, but of Saint Joseph.

Once a Catholic, always a Catholic; no matter how hard you try.

(Why St Joe? Because in my family, that;s who found money should be thanked for as patron saint of the family who bails you out when you need it most. )

I need some advice from an outside standpoint and I apologize if this is not in the right place. I will move it if need be.

So, a little background: I'm engaged to a wonderful man who I love with my entire being and he has three wonderful girls from a previous marriage. They live with their mother but they stay over often.

I am a serious BTW Seeker and outside of my seeking I do some basic generic eclectic witchcraft pretty often, for lack of a better way of phrasing it. Or at least I did before I moved in with my fiancée. I do not know people in my area as I have recently moved and I have finally settled into the area with a wonderful job that I love waking up and going to everyday (after being unemployed for 7 months).

Now, this all sounds absolutely wonderful and I feel fortunate and grateful. However, his ex-wife is extremely bigoted towards 'witchcraft' and 'witches'. The extent of her fear extends so far that she prevents her children from watching or reading Harry Potter, anything of the supernatural or occult, no Wizard of Oz, absolutely no fantasy books of any kind, nothing. She does not want them exposed to any of that in any way.

Because of this, I have retreated so far in my practice that I am not comfortable talking about it or doing anything in my own household. He feels like I am shutting him out of this part of my life and I agree with him in that I am. Yet, my fear is as such: I am afraid of being outted as a witch to his ex-wife. His eldest is extremely shrewd and I will admit, I have let some things accidentally slip.

I am afraid that if she finds out she will fight to have sole custody of the children and we will never see them again. However, my fear has caused me to shut my fiancée out of my practice and it is causing a slight friction that I am unsure of how to resolve.

I feel as though I am at an impasse. Some advice would be wonderful. Thank you.
